<p>You have a pretty great chance! Considering the fact that you are an international student. The only thing I would improve is your volunteer hours. Other than that, you should be accepted in at least Cornell and UC Berkeley. Good luck with your admissions :)</p>

<p>One more question : would it be in my interest to not send my SAT I scores?</p>

5

<p>Your application looks fantastic, good chance to get into Berkeley and Cornell, but the essay and writing supplements will need to be top notch since everyone who applies to Stanford is brilliant.</p>

<p>Your stats are great and your ECs look really solid too. I think you have great chances as long as your essays are top notch. Good luck! Chance me back please</p>

<p>Your stats are very good and everything else seems great. Just make sure your essays are perfect–then you have a solid chance everywhere you apply.</p>

10

<p>Your stats are amazing! I think you’re a very strong applicant for all of your schools.</p>

11

<p>Cornell low reach, Berkeley high match. Stanford reach (especially if you will do RD)</p>

<p>I think you should be fine for Berkeley, and chances are you will get into Cornell. However, Cornell is still unpredictable as well as Stanford. Berkeley you should get in as the UC schools are pretty numbers based.</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>Your stats are good for each school on your list. I can see you getting into Berkeley and Cornell with relative ease. However, Stanford is that next level and nearly all applicants have your scores and GPA strength. To separate yourself, you should PERFECT your essays (and I mean perfect) to have a solid chance. I’d say for this reason, Stanford would be a low-mid reach. Definitely not out of the running though, and I wish you luck! Thank you for chancing me also.</p>

<p>Stanford reach, rest high match
Great stats though! :slight_smile:
